The Juvenile Englishman’s Library.

EDITED BY THE

REV. JOHN FULLER RUSSELL, B.C.L., INCUMBENT OF S. JAMES’S, ENFIELD.

Under this title a Series of Works has been published, which, while maintaining the same principles as those of the popular collection, entitled “The Englishman’s Library,” are adapted to a younger class of readers. The original Proprietor having transferred his interest in the Series to another Publisher, and a previous change of Editorship having also taken place, it is thought desirable to announce to the Subscribers that, in the future volumes, the same principles will be strictly adhered to, which have obtained for “The Library” so much favour. It will be the aim of the present Editor to put forth such Works only as shall tend to develope with simplicity and integrity the youthful English Churchman’s character; and he is happy in being able to state that he has succeeded in retaining the valuable assistance of several of the former Contributors (Including the late respected Editor), and also in securing the aid of others in all respects qualified for such an undertaking.

I. TALES of the VILLAGE CHILDREN. By the Rev. F. E. PAGET. First Series, Including “The Singers,” “The Wake,” “The Bonfire,” “Beating the Bounds,” “Hallowmas Eve,” and “A Sunday Walk and a Sunday Talk.” 2nd Edition. 18mo., with numerous cuts, neatly bound in cloth, 2s. 6d.

⁂ For School Rewards, &c., the Tales may be had in a packet, sorted, price 2s., or 4d. each.

V. TALES of the VILLAGE CHILDREN. By the Rev. F. E. PAGET. Second Series. New Edition. With cuts, cloth, 2s. 6d.

XI. A HISTORY OF ENGLAND, from the Invasion of the Romans, to the Accession of Queen Victoria. _A New Edition, Revised_. Price 2s. 6d.

“We can conscientiously recommend this nice little book, and we trust that it is the first step towards the banishment from nursery and school-room of those odious compilations that at present disgrace the name of ‘Histories for the Young,’ and which are fraught with eminent danger to the moral rectitude of those who read them.”—_Ecclesiastic_, Feb. 1846.

XII. LAYS OF FAITH AND LOYALTY. By the Ven. Archdeacon CHURTON, M.A., Rector of Crayke. Price 2s.

XIII. TRIUMPHS OF THE CROSS. Part II. CHRISTIAN ENDURANCE. By the Rev. J. M. NEALE, M.A., price 2s. 6d.

“Mr. Neale has favoured us with a second part of CHRISTIAN HEROISM, and a charming little volume it is.... We do think that the service done to the cause of truth by a careful and judicious selection and publication of such stories as the latter ones, especially, of this series is very considerable.”—_Ecclesiastic_, June, 1846.

XIV. A SCHOOL GEOGRAPHY. Carefully compiled; including the Latest Discoveries, and a Chapter on Ecclesiastical Geography. By the Rev. H. HOPWOOD, M.A. With a Map coloured to show the Christian, Heathen, and Mahometan Countries, English Possessions, &c. Price 2s. 6d.

“We are indebted to Mr. Hopwood for an ‘Introduction to the study of Modern Geography,’ which appears to us far superior to any manual of the kind yet in existence.”—Ecclesiastic, Sept. 1846.

XVI. A HISTORY OF PORTUGAL from its erection into a separate kingdom to the year 1836. Price 2s. 6d.
